Description• Component of information literacy
• One can have “user” literacy, but a lack of “research” literacy (another component of information literacy) which lowers overall information literacy.
• Therefore, digital literacy does not necessarily = information literacy.

Digital Technology Examples
• Digital technologies include the Internet, cell phones, PDA’s, computer hardware and software, electronic mail, and other digital devices.
• Some level of literacy in most of these technologies have enabled us to participate in this Wimba presentation.

History of Digital Literacy
• Inseparable from the history of information literacy. Information literacy led to development of digital technologies and subsequent digital literacy.
• Hammer Time! (Philosophy 101). “By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a
philosopher.” --Socrates

Historic Quote• "We are living through an extraordinary moment in
human history. Historians will look back on our times, the 40-year span between 1980 and 2020, and classify it among the handful of historical moments when humans reorganized their entire civilization around a new tool, a new idea. These decades mark the transition from the Industrial Age, an era organized around the motor, to the Digital Age, an era defined by the microprocessor -- the brains within today's personal computer. The mid-1990s, perhaps even 1995, may come to be viewed as the defining moment when society recognized the enormity of the changes taking place and began to reorient itself. "Source: Peter Leyden, "The Historic Moment," in "On the Edge of the Digital Age," Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune, 1995

Production vs. Disruption
• Digital literacy is an ongoing endeavor.

History in the Making
• As people become more digitally literate we are increasingly becoming digital citizens in a digital society.
• More and more, digital literacy is being equated with economic security as workplaces are becoming dependent on digital technologies.
• As this trend continues and digital literacy among individuals increases, I believe we will hear the term “digital identity” more and more.

“According to a recent report from the Workforce Commission’s National Alliance of Business, “The
current and future health of America’s 21st century economy depends directly on how broadly and deeply Americans reach a new level of literacy—‘21st Century
Literacy.’”

• Students today are growing up with technology!
• They are being led by adults who have not.
• Therefore, it is very important for teachers to not only know about technology but to understand
how to instruct with technology to the E-Generation!
Why is Digital Literacy Important for Teachers?

• It is important for students to now only learn how to utilize media, but also how to process and understand the sources they are using.
• Teachers must be understand digital literacy so that they can educate students on what defines reliable sources and to not absorb and believe all that is on the internet is fact.

• Funding is not the biggest challenge!
• Technical learning objectives may not have been defined.
• Integration of digital literacy into lesson plans may not have happened.
Why… Challenges
![Page 13: VSU OLA Project](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052210/55581c3ad8b42a5e468b4d51/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

• Professional development plans may be limited.
• Teachers are having to become educated on their own time!
Why… More Challenges
![Page 14: VSU OLA Project](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052210/55581c3ad8b42a5e468b4d51/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• Develop a vision and goals to make Digital Literacy a priority.
• Create incentives for teachers to pursue knowledge on how to incorporate digital literacy.
• Develop more Professional Development opportunities for Digital Literacy.
Why.. What schools can do

The U.S. Department of Education• The primary goal of this legislation is to improve student academic
achievement through the use of technology in elementary schools and secondary schools.
• The other goals are:(A) To assist every student in crossing the digital divide by ensuring
that every student is technologically literate by the time the student finishes the eighth grade, regardless of the student's race, ethnicity, gender, family income, geographic location, or disability.
(B) To encourage the effective integration of technology resources and systems with teacher training and curriculum development to establish research-based instructional methods that can be widely implemented as best practices by State educational agencies and local educational agencies.
